Most Importantly, he'd been bragging endlessly before, saying he'd go out to sea and slaughter everyone.
And the moment he set sail, he ended up on his knees?!
What a damn disgrace to the D family.
Sengoku keenly sensed something was off.
Why did Garp react so strongly when he heard Luffy and Zoro were seriously injured?!
Wait.
Monkey D. Luffy.
Monkey D. Garp.
Belatedly, Sengoku slapped his forehead. What the hell!!
Gentlemen, request flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets. Thank you all.

"Garp, tell me honestly. What's your relationship with Straw Hat Kid Luffy?" Sengoku asked with a dark expression.
"He's my grandson."
Garp didn't hide it.
Hearing this, Sengoku sighed helplessly.
He should have figured it out sooner.
Sengoku patted his old partner on the shoulder and reassured him, "Don't worry. Your grandson's fine."
He was just injured, not killed.
"But—" Sengoku's face hardened as he warned, "Garp, if you see him, talk some sense into him. Tell him to stop being a pirate."
Pirates never end well.
Garp slammed the table in anger. "Don't worry. I'll definitely teach that brat a good lesson."
Just then, the information on Reno and his crew came through.
"Take a look. This is Reno." Sengoku handed the file to Garp.
"This is the imp?!" Garp frowned slightly as he looked at Reno's photo.
He had a decent face, but could he take one of Garp's punches?!
Garp continued flipping through the files on the other members of the Reno Pirates.
He didn't know before, but now he was shocked.
Good Guy, not only were they all female crewmates, they were all beauties too.
Nami: Navigator of the Reno Pirates. Suspected Rumble-Rumble Fruit user.
Nojiko: Nami's sister. Other details unknown.
Kaya: Identity unknown?
Makino: Identity unknown?
Wait.
Garp stared at the last file and rubbed his eyes hard.
"Makino?!!"
He suddenly remembered that a few days ago, or whenever it was, Dadan had called him once, cursing the whole time.
She said Makino had been taken by some imp and told him to go find her immediately.
He thought Dadan was joking, so he didn't pay it any mind.
So the imp who took Makino was Reno.
Great.
One more reason to deal with Reno.
"Since when did Logia Devil Fruits become so worthless?!"
"Not only did two appear at once, even the most destructive Rumble-Rumble Fruit showed up."
Garp closed the file and said solemnly.
Sengoku shook his head. "That's what I'm wary of too."
"If it's really the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, we absolutely cannot let it grow unchecked."
In the Navy's records, there was once a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user.
His Combat Power was extraordinary.
Single-handedly fighting two Navy Masters, the lightning power he unleashed was like an apocalypse.
Within a radius of several kilometers, everything was turned into ruins.
Despite being besieged by two strong persons, he still managed to retreat unscathed.
This man became famous overnight!
Now that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit had reappeared in the world, they had to prepare in advance and take precautions.
"I'll make a trip to the East Blue." Garp stood up.
Find Luffy.
Capture Reno.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Sengoku shook his head: "Garp, according to intelligence, Reno has been using the Cloud-Cloud Fruit's power to drag the pirate ship through the air. Your chances of finding them are slim."
Garp rarely argued back; that was true.
Right now, Reno could be flying anywhere.
But Sengoku didn't reject Garp's request either. He knew Garp's main reason for returning to the East Blue was Luffy.
"Let's issue a bounty poster first. Even if we can't find him, we can't let him live too comfortably."
Sengoku settled for the next best option.
Four beautiful crewmates, a daily paradise of tenderness.
Even he was envious.
"Let's do it that way. I'll head to the East Blue first."
Garp tossed out a sentence and hurriedly left the office.
He couldn't wait to teach Luffy a lesson.
Pound his head.
Meanwhile, Reno and others' bounty posters were quickly released.
Baratie Restaurant.
This was the most famous restaurant in the East Blue, renowned for its cuisine. Every day, many people from other sea areas came here drawn by its reputation.
Its shape resembled a giant ship, with fish-shaped figureheads on both sides. When threatened, it could transform into a combat form at a moment's notice.
No one usually dared to cause trouble here.
After three days of sailing, Reno finally arrived.
To avoid unnecessary commotion, he directly controlled the Merry to sail on the sea surface as they neared Baratie.
"Is that the Baratie Restaurant?! It's exactly like the rumors!"
On the deck, Nami raised her hand to look into the distance, delighted.
She knew the East Blue had many fun places and had long wanted to see them.
But hindered by Arlong, she had been busy with work all these years, rushing to make money.
She could only secretly yearn for it.
Kaya's eyes sparkled like little stars. For someone who had been bedridden with an incurable disease and never left home, every new place was a novelty.
"Look, there's a pirate ship over there." Nojiko pointed ahead in surprise.
All the women looked; it was indeed a pirate ship.
And it was battered and broken.
Seeing the iconic flag fluttering loudly on the mast, Reno's lips curled into a smirk.
"That pirate ship is called the Warship-Armament Saber. It belongs to the Krieg Pirates, the overlords of the East Blue."
Overlords of the East Blue?!
Weren't they supposed to be strong?!
"Reno, who's stronger, Krieg or Arlong?!" Nami asked.
"No idea. Both are equally weak." Reno shook his head, then added: "But Krieg's bounty is 17 million Belly."
"Tch, only 17 million?!" Nami pouted, suddenly feeling bold.
She had killed Arlong, who had a 20 million Belly bounty, without hesitation.
"Isn't Krieg the overlord of the East Blue?! How did his ship end up like this?!"
Makino voiced her doubt.
"He probably saw something he shouldn't have."
Reno couldn't help but laugh.
A bunch of pathetic guys.
They set sail with grand ambitions, barely made it to the Grand Line, and ran into Hawk Eyes.
Just one glance, and they'd made themselves a Strong Enemy.
Krieg's mentality completely collapsed.
After docking the Merry, Reno called out to All the Women.
"Let's go, we're upgrading our meal today and trying the food here."
All the Women were delighted and followed Reno toward the restaurant.
The restaurant door was wide open, with a man standing at the entrance.
Just as Reno and the others reached the door, this guy turned to face the restaurant and burst out laughing like an Idiot.
"Hahaha, I've decided—from today on, I'm taking over the Baratie Restaurant. If you don't want to die, you'd better listen up!"
Request Flowers, monthly tickets, evaluation tickets.

Krieg, clad in golden armor, shouted at the Chefs inside the restaurant: "You lot, prepare 100 portions of food for my Crewmates right now, or else—"
Krieg grinned cruelly, hefting his one-ton Great War Spear and pointing it at everyone.
The threat was unmistakable.
The Chefs were intimidated by Krieg's presence, trembling in panic.
"Hey, who are you? Move it, don't block the way."
The sharp voice from behind made Krieg frown.
Who was so clueless?!
He turned around to see a man and four women walking toward him.
